Recycle, Reuse, Repurpose

November 20, 2012
By Tracy Martin

Recycling means different things to different people. It may mean the unwavering devotion to cleaning, sorting and collecting bottles, cans, bags and paper or; repurposing.Repurposing means using found objects for other than their intended purpose.I just saw a great episode of America Pickers on the History Channel where automobile parts from the luxury cars of the 40”s and 50’s were used in current custom cars, pretty cool.

Here’s a link to a salvage blog with great ideas. It’s very fun to look at the photos.

It is amazing the innovation in certain products like countertops and flooring. Check out these links for local products.

A word of caution:if you are concerned about keeping it “green” make sure to use locally manufactured or fabricated products.If the product you choose is manufactured or fabricated in Oregon and transported to New Jersey chances are it comes on a tractor-trailer.How green is that?..........not really at all.Do your homework!

What ever it means to you carry on because not only is it better for the environment there are some cool products and uses for all this leftover stuff.
